Let's break this down. We're going to add 6385 and 2408 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 8 in column 1 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 4 in column 3 and get 7.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 2 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 6385 + 2408 = 8793.
